When I was doing daily standups it could be useful for people to say what they are blocked on and then for someone else to say that they could try to help them.

When I was doing daily standups it could be useful for people to say what they are blocked on and then for someone else to say that they could try to help them. Where it wasn't useful was if the two people tried to solve the issue during the standup while 10 other people were standing around. My other pet peeve for our standups was that they would not start on time. This was very common when I started on the team. After awhile I would just force the standup to start on time no matter how many people were there, even if I was the only one there :) After awhile everyone started getting there on time. I understood why people would arrive late since we were always starting late. An unvirtuous cycle so to speak.
